Step 11Fit the Tiffany Lampshade
All that's left to do is drop the shade into place and plug in.
Extra finishing touches are twisting the wire to make it neat, or twisting the wire and then spraying it black or brown for a really authentic look. The wire is nice and thin so really looks the right scale.
As I wanted to copy the reference photo, I made a miniature can of Coke too. There's a dadcando project which has instructions and label printables which can be found at the micro tin can project.
The lamp looks really nice and has a lovely weight to it. Next I think I am going to make a Chinese lantern shade from thin strips of bamboo and tissue paper to fit over this lamp assembly so that i can change the lampshade when I feel like it, but I must say, all manner of miniature funky lampshades come to mind.
Anyway, good luck and have fun making this little project.

The project is obviously dazzling - what really impressed me was your use of both photos and excellently clear drawings. And well written instructions! I have never soldered, nor torn apart a USB plug but after reading this I honestly believe I could make this project. Thank you.

thank you for your kind comments. I run a website for dads and kids (dadcando) and I try to make every project as good as possible and as easy as possible so that everyone can have a go and get a great result. To be honest, I have never taken a USB plug apart before, so that's why the instructions are clear, I tried to think what would have helped me do it without mistakes, glad you like it. The beauty of this project is that when you've done, you can make other nice miniature lamp shades from a range of different materials
